read this important
safety notice
To prevent accidents, keep safety in mind while you work. Use the safety
guards installed on power equipment; they are for your protection. When
working on power equipment, keep fingers away from saw blades, wear
safety goggles to prevent injuries from flying wood chips and sawdust,
wear ear protectors, and consider installing a dust vacuum to reduce the
amount of airborne sawdust in your woodshop. Don’t wear loose cloth-
ing, such as neckties or shirts with loose sleeves, or jewelry, such as rings,
necklaces or bracelets, when working on power equipment. Tie back long
hair to prevent it from getting caught in your equipment. People who
are sensitive to certain chemicals should check the chemical content of
any product before using it. The authors and editors who compiled this
book have tried to make the contents as accurate and correct as possible.
Plans, illustrations, photographs and text have been carefully checked.
All instructions, plans and projects should be carefully read, studied and
understood before beginning construction. Due to the variability of local
conditions, construction materials, skill levels, etc., neither the author
nor Popular Woodworking Books assumes any responsibility for any acci-
dents, injuries, damages or other losses incurred resulting from the mate-
rial presented in this book. Prices listed for supplies and equipment were
current at the time of publication and are subject to change. Glass shelv-
ing should have all edges polished and must be tempered. Untempered
glass shelves may shatter and can cause serious bodily injury. Tempered
shelves are very strong and if they break will just crumble, minimizing
personal injury.
